The smell is worth it

Liver of Sulfur is stinky stuff!  I tried a new gel formula yesterday and was really pleased with the results.  I’m used to LofS turning the silver mega black instantly, and I wanted a less harsh look for my little nests.  I put just a few drops of the gel kind in my water and swished my goodies around in one big batch to get a varigated look and it worked like a charm.  I can’t capture the variations on camera, but the 3 nests on the left are a soft mix of blues & greens & greys.

These ones are heading to the gallery, but I’ll be adding some to my Etsy page in a day or two.

High as a kite

… from an unbelievable week in the gallery.  A great guy came into the gallery to furnish his vacation rentals with local art.  He’s purchased several pieces from our gallery already and yesterday was my lucky day.  I had hung new work on Monday, and he loved all the color and purchased 2 of my biggest pieces.   Then I got a phone call this morning and he commissioned another painting.  I’m thrilled beyone measure!  I will have 3 paintings in his vacation rentals.  Sweet.

All my pottery acorns sold on Etsy last night too.  And I sold a mixed-media beach haning and a small ‘weeds’ painting the other day. Phew!  Looks like I can pay the rent after all, LOL.

I’ve been practicing gratefulness and the power of positive thinking and it’s working.  I’ve also been sure to do some give-aways, art for charity auctions, etc – because it’s important to give back.  Karma is rewarding me, which is a real treat!!! and a switch ;)
